My Baby Slept - Fisher Price Rock N' Play Sleeper Review

For 7 whole hours, William slept.

I haven't had 7 hours straight sleep since I was about 7 months pregnant.  When I awoke this morning and saw the sun I was absolutely shocked!  I've never felt so rested, so happy, so amazed at what a good nights' sleep really feels like.  I can't believe he slept that long.

So what did I do to make him sleep so long?  Not many 2 month old babies sleep for more than  3 or 4 hours at a time.  And that had been his routine since birth.  Sleep, wake, eat, sleep.  Well, last night I changes where he slept.

From Day 1 I have been putting William to sleep in his crib.  I'm all for co-sleeping but I didn't feel confident that I could safely do that this time around, so we cribbed it.  He took to his crib very well, slept for a couple hours at a time and woke happy.  I could even lay him down awake and he will put himself to sleep.  I'm happy with that, my first baby (Ben) had to sleep ON ME...  Since I'm not ready to sleep in a separate room, away from Wil, I usually sleep on a love seat that I have in his room, not very comfy at all.

Last night I decided I wanted to sleep in my own bed.  It's been a while since I've been able to stretch out, and I really just wanted to be comfy for a night.  So I brought in the Fisher Price Rock n' Play Sleeper that I was sent for review last week, nursed William and rocked him to sleep.  And he slept for 7 hours.

 

When I first received the Rock n' Play, I thought I would just use it around the house, I didn't want to change his already decent sleeping habits, and I didn't want to discourage him from feeling safe in his crib.  So we put it together and used it around the house.  It was great to have a place that I could set him down when I need to answer the door, or cook supper.  A place that was elevated off the ground, so he could see me, and know he was safe.  I quickly learned that it works really well when he's crying, but not hungry or in need of a diaper change.  I could lay him in it and just rock it with my foot.  Within a few minutes he would settle and usually fall asleep.

The Rock n' Play is the only infant seat that meets the industry standard for bassinets, a truly universal piece of baby gear.  It is light weight, can easily be moved around the house, and used day or night.  It features a washable liner, a toy bunny for play, and a 3 point harness to keep baby secure.  It also has a little pocket on one side, which is one of MY favorite features.  I keep an extra pacifier in there for when I need one in a hurry.
